Conventional robots are programmed to carry out specific actions, thus following a rather rigid set of instructions and not acting autonomously. Advanced robots, in contrast to this, are aware of their environment and react to it, making autonomous decisions about what actions to perform.
The survey asked respondents to assess the likely impact—in the next five years—of advanced robotics on their company’s number of employees.
The source did not specify the age of respondents or the type of survey.
